Re:SpaceX Is Buying Cursor on Tuesday June 16, 2026 @09:19AM (#48554879)
Grok’s capabilities on Cursor’s data should be a step function there. Go X! Congrats Cursor, what a ride!
Nice work this definitely feels like a market gap, for those who’ve been deep enough to experience it.
Re:Nvidia buys $5B in Intel stock in seismic deal on Thursday September 18, 2025 @08:05AM (#45288590)
Great news for all involved. It also would seem to validate Apple’s unified architecture for inference, and imply AMD is getting close…
Re:Ask HN: Custom domain name for personal email? on Saturday March 08, 2025 @11:26AM (#43301339)
Will typically connect Microsoft 365 email to owned domain and pricing is relatively cheap and it works great.
Sharing for awareness in case of value for any HNers, this little app helped get subscriptions online for a hobby project and has now been open sourced (MIT). There are bigger established alternatives and as is explained in the readme, this one is designed to be encapsulated, ideomatic, and end-user privacy-preserving.
Right?!
Re:gptel: a simple LLM client for Emacs on Sunday November 03, 2024 @05:40PM (#42036691)
Anyone know of a similar option for vi/m? (Not neovim etc).

Been searching and have found some but nothing stands out yet.

We need a tl;dr on this one!
These are great. Having tooling to get stuff out fast and as safely as possible to get to iterating openly.

Here’s a bash script I posted a while back on a different thread that does similar thing if of interest for anyone. It’s probably less nice than op’s for ex it only works with digitalocean (which is great!) - but it’s simple small and mostly readable. also assumes docker - but all via compose, with some samples like nginx w auto-ssl via le.

Re:Poll: Is AI Hype a Bubble? on Friday June 14, 2024 @07:34PM (#40686171)
Imho there is hype and bubble yes but not at the core: at the core is AGI in 5 years and significant change. The bubble/hype is coming from where it seems to always come from - the non-core camp.

thank you! will enjoy reviewing each of these
Re:Compressing Images with Neural Networks on Sunday March 17, 2024 @06:26PM (#39738628)
Anyone know of open models useful (and good quality) for going the other way? I.e., Input is a 800x600 jpg and output is 4k version.

Nice job! You may want to add a manifest so it’s easily added as an app on mobile (add to Home Screen)

Good call. Surprised it’s not more given its value as (among other things) AI corpus.

Re:Ask HN: How do you use AI to get things done faster? on Thursday September 28, 2023 @08:23AM (#37688583)
It’s eliminated a mental barrier to building products where I was worried before I had limited time to work and needed to focus on things that drew from existing familiarity.

Now I’m able to focus on the product/outcome in any domain and start building.

The net effect has been I can build a wider variety of things in a wider variety of tooling with more enjoyment and less drudgery.

- text summaries

- sysadmin stuff

- debugging stuff

- boilerplate stuff

- unblocking writers block

- integrating disparate stacks

- data transformation and algorithm stuff

- most marketingy stuff: copy, images, campaign/activations

What kind of resource are you looking for?

Have you already gotten started with your LLM of choice, and need something more?

Re:I don't want to host services (but I do) on Wednesday August 09, 2023 @03:34PM (#37067396)
Genuine q. The main thing stopping me from self hosting is security. Having a box in the cloud get hacked as long as data is properly encrypted and secured - not good but also can easily destroy and spin up anew.

But having your home server hacked and then your home network exfilled seems way too fraught to even attempt it.

Thoughts on that? Am I just too unfamiliar with network security and this actually solved now — and there is already a well-defined trusted approach to this?

Please do! Besides being a fun exercise it’s also a neat idea. Comments from the HN community make the content posted almost always more interesting imho

Nice! Would you mind sharing which stable diff you used / where you obtained from?

Is there a legitimate way to get the weights to actually use this without filling in forms?

Re:Agile isn’t about speed, it’s about direction on Sunday January 08, 2023 @06:51PM (#34304757)
Well it’s both imo - i.e., agile is about velocity.
